Mrs. Haack (Hawk) has been teaching Art and Ceramics since 2014. She taught students from Kindergarten-12th grade at both public and private schools. When she switched careers from Marketing to Education, she was hopeful to teach ceramics full time one day. Woodcreek made that dream a reality. She loves the Woodcreek community and looks forward to her kids attending in the future. When she is not at school, she is with her husband and two kids spending time with family, doing outdoor activities, or having game nights.
Mrs. Haack knows that many students will not have a career in the arts but hopes to help them build long-term skills that will aide in whatever their future holds. She encourages students to build grit by pushing through their artistic struggles, creativity and development when they plan, responsibility as they use and clean new tools and materials, and a great deal of time-management skills.
